I needed a quite getaway for a couple of days and this was wonderful and peaceful even though there is a train station close by. The sound of the waterfalls and the room insulations hardly made it noticeable. The manager Chai was so friendly and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed my stay and will go back anytime I am in need of a short distance getaway.
Our one-night stay here was exactly the reset we needed! From check-in, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the fruity kombucha welcome drink set a great tone. The room was comfortable and quiet, and the outdoor yard access made us feel genuinely connected to nature. It was a much-needed break from digital screens and work stress ^-^
The in-room bath salt and fresh herbs turned a simple bath into a real highlight, and the licorice mint tea was so good I bought a box of the leaves from the gift shop before leaving. Breakfast came in a charming picnic basket, generous and fresh. Checkout was just as kind as check-in.
This place really nails the "zen by the beach" feeling. We're already planning our next visit!
If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with not a lot of people and kids running around (besides the train every now and then during the day. lol) This is it. It’s a cute intimate staycation. The massage I got for my husband he loved and the footsoak in the garden with wine and cheese board was perfect. I even fell asleep in the garden waiting for my husband to finish his massage. The staff are super attentive and make you feel so welcomed. We satyed in the sage room and slept like babies. I loved everything about our stay. And enjoyed the simplicity of it all.
The Inn at Moonlight Beach is a peaceful little paradise just a few blocks from the beach. Our stay was the most relaxing we had in a very long time! The Inn is a wellness center running on 90% solar energy, harvesting their own fruits and erbs, and serving a delicious, farm to table healthy breakfast to your door every morning. We'll definitely go back!
Great little property and hidden gem! Very peaceful vibe, and nice touches with healthy breakfast and sustainable amenities... I enjoyed my stay and will come back again!
I spent 4 nights at The Inn at Moonlight Beach and I was still not ready to leave! Every morning I took a nice long stroll down Moonlight beach, and stopped off for coffee at Lofty. A wonderful breakfast basket was waiting for me when I returned with fresh fruit, a chia seed parfait and green juice. I stayed in Sweet Bay, which had nice high ceilings, a comfortable bed, a mini kitchen and a large soaking tub. All of the touches were so well thought out. I loved the sound machine with the sound of waves in the background of my entire stay. The cute beach bag was used daily. There is no doubt I will return!
